First gas station conversation

dirtyfreebooter · 01-30-2011, 04:14 PM

Well, like everyone says, I had my first gas station conversation today. LOL. I was filling up, and this kid in a VW hatchback, introduces himself to me and compliments the car. Not that unusual. Then he starts. He has been saving up since he was 5 for a Ferrari. Oh boy. I told him that an M3 is decent daily driver, but he'd probably want a second car with a Ferrari.. (especially here in Colorado) and that he should look into insurance costs and everything else that comes with maintaining a Ferrari but he wasn't hearing any of that.. LOL. Then he says he will be getting his Ferrari in a couple of months as soon as he graduates. I guess he is expecting to land a $150k+ job right out of school.. in this economy. Good luck to him, I guess.

Now I'm going out for drive Sunday drive before the snow comes tomorrow... still have 700 miles to go (until 1200 ;-)

Awesome! Still haven't had a conversation with random people, but today I did have a whole group of people standing around gazing at the car while I was walking back to it.
I'm just like...yeah...you better drool...this thing is amazing.

most of the gas station interaction i get is the same as m3maniac20 - people staring and appreciating. some ask some questions about it but nobody seems to be rude or upset about me having this ride... so far that is!

fun thread lol had a few of these conversations when i owned my infiniti g coupe and my 11' 335xi (rip (most notably a crack head who asked a few questions and then stood in awe and silence for a good 7 minutes looking at the angel eyes before telling me he had just made up his mind that he'd buy the car just for the lights alone lol)). just picked up my e93, hope i can have a few more of these! i love meeting people haha.
